Question

If this paramecium were moved to a saltwater environment where

the salt concentration outside the paramecium was higher than
inside the paramecium, which of the following would most likely
occur?
A Water would diffuse out of the paramecium, causing it to
shrivel up and possibly die.
Salt would begin to diffuse out of the paramecium.
C
Salt would begin to diffuse into the paramecium.
Water would continue to diffuse into the paramecium and
be pumped out using the vacuole.
B
D

Answer 1

water moves to wherever the salt is most concentrated. in this case, the salt is most concentrated in the environment. this means that the water would diffuse out of the paramecium and cause it to shrivel up.

answer: water would diffuse out of the paramecium, causing it to shrivel up and possibly die (A i think? the formatting is weird on my end)
